my car has been standing in the garage for a couple of months now without being moved or started up, and I'm just wondering if there is a risk of any engine components seizing up etc.? Any preventative maintenance recommended? Cheers________________________________________ Team 'unintentional rat look' |

i would just pull the injector plugs off and turn it over. let the oil circulate and then just run it as normal after a few turns. that's all i did on mine after it was out of the car for 6 months________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |
